A society divided by law. A young man determined to do what was right. A profound search for meaning in a bizarre maze of legalized racism.Born in the tumultuous dawn ofApartheid in South Africa. Ganesan Abbu was marked as different. Indoctrinated into a life which placed White citizens at the top of the social ladder and where Africans people were regarded as omens of dread and distrust, the sensitive boy slowly awoke to the horrible system of injustice. His conscience demanded he side with demonized Black people. However, his Indian heritage, that denied him a tribal status in Africa, would ensure that he would always be regarded as an outsider: not white enough during apartheid and not black enough after it ended.Unhappy that his parent’s generation were content to blindly follow the rules, Ganesan threw himself into the growing political unrest to protest the government’s constant crimes. And despite his convictions and active participation in the resistance, he was never sure if he would ever feel like he belonged in the land of his birth. In an already marginalized world, could he hold onto his ideals and still find a place which he can truly call home?Pondering the nuances of identity, language, and racism, Ganesan Abbu offers up a thoughtful and conversational memoir full of raw confessions of his own struggle during Apartheid. And as he fights to understand the underlying truths of loyalty and prejudice, readers will come to comprehend the sharp sting of otherness and the peace of having a place in the universe.Between Black and White is an immersive memoir. If you like gritty honesty, fascinating self-reflection, and inspiring journeys, then you’ll love Ganesan Abbu’s rocky path to fulfillment.Buy Between Black and White to celebrate diversity today!
